In this age where you can quickly spend thousands online (or even in person) without having to actually watch any of it disappear, and corporations are hiring psychologists to make their services and platforms as addicting as possible, you're gonna get a lot of this

I see everyone in the comments saying that Gen Z have checked out and are waiting for the end but I really don't think so.

I think it's never been easier to manipulate a person to separate them from their money and things are deliberately designed that way. Big shiny upgrade now buttons, services forcing you onto 7 day free trials for premium plans upon signing up, expensive yearly subscriptions for products that ten years ago would have been unthinkable as anything other than one time purchases, you name it. Capitalists have used the internet to minmax their penny pinching.

On the bright side there's about a 100% guarantee that any game he shits out is gonna be terrible. You can rig, bribe, and exploit your way through literally anything except creating good art. The industry's seen plenty of attempts already

And if it's good then ill just pirate it :3

I think this signals the beginning of a very tough era for trans people more than it does anything about national security. But we shall see

The ideological score here must be worth more to Trump than the strength of America's military, already hurting for new recruits, which says a lot and frankly scares the fuck out of me
